Thank you! I love following your posts! So thanks for all the good words

Thank you! I’m headed in the right direction!

Down 16lbs! I tell ya, I needed this! I’ve been feeling awfully gloomy.

Amazing! Such an inspiration!

At the end of the day, if the original post would have been in the infamous “confessions” no one would have said anything! Good grief SMH ??‍♀️

Such a good hubby! My husband made spaghetti at 2am two nights ago because he knows the torture I’m going through. The best part is that he is the worlds worst house keeper. He rinsed all the dishes and loaded them in the dishwasher. The only evidence was the half empty box of uncooked noodles sitting on the counter. God bless his soul! I have to feel bad for my hubby tho. I do all the cooking and shopping. I sent him to the store for some SF jello, and whatever he wanted to eat for the week. He emerged 1 hour later with a bag of... I hope he survives this process and he doesn’t resent me afterward. Im just kidding! He will love me more for it [emoji173]️

I’m dying lol [emoji23] one can hope... *sigh*

Interesting how things change after! I hope I despise chips! LOL

It sucks for sure! But I’ll be there rooting you on during yours as well! [emoji8]

Amen.

I would steer clear of ice cream, but if you must, then I would def do Halo Top brand!

You guys are too funny. It's crazy the things that we crave when we can't have anything LOL. Green beans *crying face*

talk about it being a mental game!

Thanks for all the encouraging words! Doing better today

I’m very much ready! Ready to feel good, look good, and be healthier! [emoji173]️

You look amazing! Congrats!

The lower the score the better is correct. At a score of 5, I'd highly doubt they would recommend a CPAP.

I’ve had a total of 12carbs (in the shakes) and 365 calories. Man o man, i didn’t know it would be so hard.

This could be an option for you.

I can’t agree with you more, as far as, my hopeful future relationship with food. Im day 2 on preop. My friends have asked me what I ate for my “last meal”. I ate something I enjoyed but, I didn’t overindulge. I told them that I’m not considering it my last meal. I hope that I will be able to enjoy the majority of things at some point in the future. The difference is that I won’t binge eat it.

When you put it into perspective...4 minutes.... This is why I follow you! Good advice!

I literally started clapping in my living room! Well said.

My doctor said I could eat a whole box a day if I wanted to. (I don't of course). But it is a good way to get fluid in after surgery.

What state do you live in? I'm not sure if laws vary from state to state but, in IL... we have what's called FMLA. My HR person has told me that I don't even have to disclose the reason for my leave with my supervisor. She has stated that the only people that need to be informed is my doctor and HR. Our HR coordinator takes care of everything else, as in, informing my supervisor when I can return to work, ect. The reason I know so much, I had a bad experience with my direct manager and the same thing that happened to you. In fact, he would openly discuss my health issues with other colleagues and customers. I had to report him. At our company, this could be a terminable offense. I would call your HR immediately and explain the circumstances. Good luck, remember, you don't have to go through this!

The nausea is horrendous and the fog! I think I walked into my bedroom three different times before I remembered why I kept going in there. TGIF!
